TUAW crashes WWDC, invites friends over to party
Keeping with the tradition of our unofficial nature, TUAW will be party-crashing next week's Worldwide Developer's Conference. While we won't be brushing up on our kernel debugging, we may very well be outside protesting the lack of a common UI. Mostly we'll be around to give readers at home a feel for the massive codejam that is WWDC, conduct a few interviews, and host a little get-together on Monday night.Oh, and did I mention the TUAW t-shirts we'll be randomly giving away all week?
If you're interested in showing off your Cool New App let us know!

Folks, we'll be at House of Sheilds starting at around 7 or 8pm. Won't start giving away shirts until at least 10pm.

I'll be the girl with the mohawk, tattoos, SF byke messenger hoodie, combat boots, Nokia N95 and OQO Model 02 :)
i second [third?] the motion for an online tuaw shirt giveaway for those of us that live on the other side of the world to wwdc [ie: make it international]. also maybe some other cool giveaways like that time you had the griffin roadtrip giveaway.

and don't worry, we'll have lots more stuff (and tuaw tees) to give away throughout the year!
What time is the party on Monday?

June 05 2007 at 3:20 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyGuys, I highly recommend not feeding the trolls. They're here to provoke, confront, insult and push buttons any way they can; they aren't here for genuine interaction. Adding fuel to the fire ruins the community and the discussion for everyone who is here to learn and exchange ideas.

what a perfect example of the perversion of the brushed metal/aqua divide.
"You can use a brushed metal window if your application:
- Is a single-window application that provides a source list to navigate informationâfor example, iTunes or the Finder
- Strives to re-create a familiar physical deviceâCalculator or DVD Player, for example
- Provides an interface for a digital peripheral, such as a camera, or an interface for managing data shared with digital peripheralsâiPhoto or iSync, for example
You should not use a brushed metal window if your application:
- Is a multi-window applicationâfor example, Interface Builder
- Is a document-based applicationâfor example, TextEdit
Use the brushed metal window look for the primary application window and other windows that meet the above criteriaâfor example, the Equalizer window in iTunes. Donât use it for supporting windows, such as preferences and other dialogs. It is acceptable to have a mix of standard Aqua windows and brushed metal windows within an application, as the Finder does."
